Field notes

The site organizes driving-permit guidance around the issuing country of a traveller’s licence and the destinations on the itinerary, returning a rule for each location. Its visible material focuses on US licence holders and lists coverage of 198+ destinations, with examples ranging from Italy and Japan to Canada and Mexico. The FAQ adds practical distinctions between legal requirements and rental-company policies, and points US applicants to AAA, where it says an IDP costs about $20.
